One of the most disturbing things about Trump is his contempt for the military he was meant to lead. Veterans fought to protect democracy and decency, the very things he’s spent years tearing down. To insult those who serve is to betray the nation itself. To all those whose served I salute you.

Sanders: Let’s be clear… If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are going to see at least a doubling in their premiums… if resolution is passed tonight, we are on a path way to throw 15 million Americans off of medicaid and the affordable care act, 15 million.

We live in a country where a leader convicted of fraud who incited an insurrection, and an ex heroin addict with no medical training at all can attack an American company like Tylenol destroying its reputation solely for political gain. The America we knew and loved does not exist any longer

Popok: The blue states and cities effectively brought the cases. The red states are suffering, and their AGs are sitting on the sidelines. There’s no red state that brought a case. Think about that: not one red state attorney general brought a case to help prevent starvation and suffering. None.

Trump has become an expert at using the very legal system meant to protect us against us. Republicans have negated the very checks and balances written into the constitution to prevent a corrupt self serving leader from harming the nation.

Call me old fashioned, but people who incite insurrections, send troops into American cities, open up nuclear testing, and cage human beings sending them to foreign gulags simply should not be eligible for peace prizes.

As millions of Americans lose food assistance in this shutdown, the president could act — but won’t. Why? Because he wants the pain. This isn’t governing. It’s moral decay.

I know this is obvious. And I know we all know this.
But if the President can raise taxes because an advert annoyed him, without even consulting Congress, then the US constitution is simply not functioning as intended.

On a deadly serious note, the President cannot rely on external, private sources to fund spending as an end-run around Congress’ constitutional power of the purse. If he can, we no longer have a republic.
